CONGRATULATIONS!

You have just purchased one of the finest water heaters on the market

today!

This installation, operation and instruction manual will explain in detail the

installation and maintenance of your new Flammable Vapor Ignition

Resistant Gas Water Heater. We strongly recommend that you contact a

plumbing professional for the installation of this water heater.

We require that you carefully read this manual, as well as the enclosed

warranty, and refer to it when questions arise. If you have any specific

questions concerning your warranty, please consult the plumbing

professional from whom your water heater was purchased. For your

records we recommend that you write the model, serial number and

installation date of your water heater in the maintenance section in the

back of this manual.

This manual should be kept with the water heater.

Special Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System:

This water heater is equipped with a Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System.

In the event of improper usage or storage of gasoline or other flammable materials

in the location where the water heater is installed, the technology will resist ignition

of the flammable vapors outside the confines of the water heater.

The Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System features:

• Advanced Flame Arrestor Design.

• Intelligent Diagnostic Control to prevent burner/pilot operation with

restricted airflow.

• Spark Igniter

• Sight Window to observe operation of pilot and burner.

FOR YOUR SAFETY: Activation of the Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant

System occurs when flammable vapors are drawn into the water heater and are

combusted. If flammable vapors are detected:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch; Do not use any phone in your building.

• Leave the premises and immediately call the fire department from a

neighbor’s phone. Follow the fire department’s instructions.

Once the flammable vapor has been evacuated, contact your plumbing

professional or the manufacturer for further instructions. Replacement of a

Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant System equipped water heater due to a

flammable vapor shutdown is not covered under the terms of the limited warranty.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES

(Replaces pg. 9 in instruction manual.)

WARNING

Failure to adhere to these installation and operating instructions may

create a hazard to life and property and will nullify the warranty.

This installation shall allow access to the front of the water heater and

adequate clearance shall be provided for servicing and operating this water

heater. The water heater may be installed on either a combustible or non-

combustible floor. If the water heater is to be installed directly on carpeting, it

shall be installed on top of a metal or wood panel (or equivalent) extending

beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least three (3) inches

(7.6 cm) in any direction or, if the appliance is to be installed in an alcove or

closet, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel. If the rating plate or

the label on the front of the water heater specifies minimum clearances

less than those listed in the below table, the water heater may be

installed in accordance with the minimum clearances listed on the rating

plate or the label on the front of the water heater.

If it is necessary to install this water heater in an alcove, use the clearances

listed in Figure 1.

160°F and 180°F control

Figure 2

The gas control knob is set to the “OFF” position when shipped from the

factory. Remember that lower temperature settings are more energy

efficient. Adjust the temperature by turning the gas control knob. It is

suggested that the starting point setting not exceed approximately 120°F

(48.9°C) or “Hot” setting on the thermostat.

DANGER

Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within five

(5) seconds at a temperature setting of 140°F (60

C). To protect against hot

water injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system.

This valve will reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot

water in branch water lines. A licensed plumbing professional or local

plumbing authority should be consulted.

Note: This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to

prevent overheating. Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to

shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance and call a

qualified service technician.

Note: Whenever the water heater is filled with cold water, condensate will

form on the cool tank surface and drops of water will fall on the hot burner

and combustion chamber surfaces producing a “sizzling” noise.

Condensation is normal and does not indicate a leak. It will disappear

when the tank becomes heated.

BURNER FLAME CHECK

(Replaces pg. 20 in instruction manual.)

These models are equipped with self adjusting air mixture and do not

have an adjustable air shutter. At periodic intervals, a visual

check of the

main burner and pilot flames should be made to determine if they are burning

properly. The main burner flame should light smoothly from the pilot. The

burner flame should be soft and undefined. After five minutes of burner

operation the burner face should be glowing orange and emitting an orange

flame.

THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR INSTALLATION OF:

GAS WATER HEATERS SUITABLE FOR WATER (POTABLE)

HEATING AND SPACE HEATING

(Replaces pg. 27 in instruction manual.)

All piping components connected to this water heater for space heating

applications must be suitable for use with potable water. In Massachusetts,

space heating piping length must not exceed 50 feet.

1. Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, must not be

introduced into potable water used for space heating.

2. This water heater must not be connected to an existing heating system

or component(s) previously used with a non-potable water heating

appliance.

3. When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher

than required for other means, such as an ASSE approved mixing valve

must be installed to temper the water for those uses in order to reduce the

scald hazard potential.

Please refer to figure 5 and figure 6 for suggested piping arrangements.
